How To Fix GG404 - Assign only one transaction for actual data from Controlling

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GG - Messages for FI-SL customizing

• Message number: 404

• Message text: Assign only one transaction for actual data from Controlling

What causes this issue?

You want to assign transaction RFRK or COFI as well as a transaction
that also delivers actual data from Controlling (CO), such as RKU1 or
RKIU. Transactions RFRK or COFI are triggered in CO:
Documents with transaction <ZH>RFRK</> are generated from reconciliation
ledgers during the reconciliation postings (transaction KALC).
Documents with transaction <ZH>COFI</> are generated during
<DS:SIMG.FAGL_COFI_VAR_DC>real-time integration</> as follow-up
documents to CO documents from CO-internal clearing.
With the current assignment, the actual data from CO is posted <ZH>twice
</> in your FI-SL.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you have assigned the transaction <ZH>COFI</>, it is not necessary to
assign additional transactions that deliver actual data from CO because
the real-time integration delivers detailed information at the single
item level (such as cost centers) as well as clearing lines.
If you have already assigned transaction <ZH>RFRK</> and still want to
assign additional transactions that deliver actual data from CO, you
have to ensure (for example, via <ZH>ledger selection</>) that the
actual data is not posted twice to your FI-SL.
<ZH>Recommendation</>
Use real-time integration.
